Author Description

Prayers for People in Hospital consists of a wide-ranging collection of case histories, each based on actual events, covering the numerous areas of work within the modern hospital. The narratives relate not only to the patients, but also to those involved in every aspect of the hospital,including medical care and support services. Each case is accompanied by a specially written prayer or meditation with, in some instances, appropriate short Biblical quotations taken from the REB.In an introductory chapter, Neville Smith addresses the often difficult questions that arise when praying in the context of the situations that arise in hospital.This is a unique, stimulating, and often deeply moving book that will aid all who seek to deepen their prayers and understanding in this field, and it will be an invaluable aid to all who lead corporate worship.
